Honestly, I do not think I could use Chamomile even for a middle name, it reminds me of having the chicken pox and having to put chamomile on my pox so I wouldn't scratch them, sorry. I do love the name Maude though!

I think Maude Chamomile is lovely. Chamomile is pretty and balances out the heavier Maude. It's a very sweet middle. If forced, I'd probably pair it with Rose- a plainer name (and the only one I'm loving at the mo). Rose Camomile is a bit too flower-power though I'm sticking with the Camomile spelling- when I first read the post, I thought I'd always been spelling it wrong but the OED says Chamomile is the N. American spelling so I believe Camomile is British

EDIT: Is it pronounced different over the pond? Just re-read the OP and saw the 'meel' ending. I've always pronounced it with the 'mile' ending

Here we pronounce it both cam-oh-meel and cam-oh-mile. It's a regional difference. I personally use both pronunciations depending on context and mood. In this situation I was using the pronunciation cam-oh-meel because I felt that it's more conducive to nicknames and thus more of a 'name'.

Camomile is a very pretty spelling and has more of a 'name' feel. I really like it.
